Completed in 1887, 268 Canal St rises 6 stories over New York. Public records put it at 1 unit and 26,000 square feet of floor area, on land zoned M1-5. It is carried on the public rolls at a market value of $5.6M, and assessed for tax at $2.5M. In the 60 years its record reaches back, the lot has drawn 360 separate government filings.

The documentary life of the address leans hard toward enforcement: 106 of its 360 records, fully 29%, fall under that one heading. Permit (90) and complaint (59) trail well behind. 1 violation stands open against it today.

The pace is anything but even. The early decades pass in near silence; the filings cluster heavily in recent years, peaking in 2026.

On the environmental ledger, the building posts an Energy Star score of 72, with a site energy-use intensity of 165.2 kBtu per square foot. Its operations answer for roughly 427 metric tons of CO2-equivalent a year.

Read together — 29% enforcement, 60 years of accumulation, a parcel of New York — these scattered records compose a portrait of the address that no single page sets out to draw.

$5.6M of New York, written across 360 government filings.
